These folks have years of experience and not only do they know exactly what to play and when, they can create the atmosphere you’re looking for during your big bash. Brian Mole is an award-winning wedding DJ based in West Sussex, who specialises in providing exceptional customer service. He has some valuable wisdom to impart when it comes to planning the big day’s entertainment and says, “When you’re researching your vendors, make sure you’re able to meet the people who’ll be working for you on the big day, either in person or virtually. The personal touch is so important to ensure the success of your wedding and it’s essential you get on with them.” Be sure to discuss your likes and dislikes as well as any song requests you simply can’t do without, including the all-important first dance.” Brian continues, “Make sure your vendor shares a written agreement for your peace of mind and check they have the required documentation to work for you at your venue. Usually, this is public liability insurance, electrical equipment testing and risk assessment.” Find out more about Brian at https://dancemix.co.uk 6 MAGICIAN It’s easy to avoid the awkward lull in proceedings while you scamper off for your photos when a magician is on hand. Brilliant at breaking the ice, a magician will have your guests enthralled and chatting as though they’ve known each other for years thanks to their exciting shared experience.
